28th Annual International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering

The theme of CASCON 2018 is
Think: Cognitive Computing, Big Data, Cloud, Security and Privacy This year we aim to explore the economic
and societal impacts of cognitive systems. Join us for CASCON 2018 and be exposed to thought-provoking keynotes,
original researchers and emerging topics papers, stimulating workshops, and our famous CASCON Expo.

CASCON is a premier industrial and academic conference for advanced studies in computer science and software engineering
sponsored by the IBM Canada Laboratory. CASCON attracts software developers, researchers, innovators, technologists
and decision makers from academia, industry, and government who come together to learn about technology trends,
present papers, participate in workshops, and exhibit prototypes and solutions. The CASCON program features
thought-provoking keynotes, original research papers, stimulating workshops, and an engaging technology expo.
Conference proceedings are published in the ACM Digital Library.

We cordially invite research and position papers as well as workshop and expo proposals in the broad areas of
computer science, software engineering, software applications and data science in general, including but not
limited to cognitive computing, big data analytics, cloud computing, security and privacy, Internet of Things
(IoT), software-as-a-service, adaptive systems, service systems, database technologies, compiler technologies,
machine learning, mobile application frameworks and platforms, blockchain, DevOps, and business intelligence.

We also encourage papers, workshop, and expo proposals that describe applications including but not limited to
